Experimental determination of evolutionary barriers to horizontal gene transfer
BACKGROUND: Horizontal gene transfer, the acquisition of genes across species boundaries, is a major source of novel phenotypes that enables microbes to rapidly adapt to new environments. How the transferred gene alters the growth – fitness – of the new host affects the success of the horizontal gen...
